Next , there is the
matter of
earmarks . These
special interest items are often slipped into
bills at the
last hour , when not even C-SPAN is watching . -LSB-
Laughter -RSB- In 2005 alone , the
number of
earmarks grew to over 13,000 and totaled nearly $ 18 billion . Even
worse , over 90
percent of the
earmarks never make it to the floor of the
House and
Senate . They are dropped into committee reports that are not even
part of the
bill that arrives on my
desk . You did n't
vote them into

As soon as I took
office , I asked this
Congress to send me a
recovery plan by
President 's
Day that would put
people back to work and put
money in their
pockets , not because I believe in
bigger Government -- I do n't -- not because I 'm not mindful of the
massive debt we 've inherited -- I am . I called for
action because the
failure to do so would have cost
more jobs and caused
more hardship . In
fact , a
failure to act would have worsened our
long-term deficit by assuring

In
order to make
progress toward this
goal , the
Iraqi Government must stop the sectarian
violence in its
capital . But the
Iraqis are not yet
ready to do this on their

more than 20,000

Iraq . The vast
majority will go to

The
fact is , that
danger remains . While we 've put
Al Qaida 's core
leadership on a
path to defeat , the
threat has evolved as
Al Qaida affiliates and
other extremists take root in
different parts of the
world . In
Yemen , Somalia ,
Iraq , Mali , we have to keep working with

networks . In

Today , on the
continent of
Africa , nearly 30 million
people have the
AIDS virus , including 3 million
children under the
age 15 . There are
whole countries in
Africa where
more than one-third of the
adult population carries the infection .
More than 4 million require
immediate drug treatment . Yet across that
continent , only 50,000
AIDS victims -- only 50,000 -- are receiving the
medicine they need . Because the
AIDS diagnosis is considered a
death sentence ,
many do not seek
treatment . Almost all who do are turned away . A

Tonight I ask you to consider another

prison back into

My

deficit , a
financial crisis , and a costly
recession . Given these realities ,
everyone in this

Democrats and
Republicans , will have to sacrifice some
worthy priorities for which there are no
dollars . And that includes me . But that does not mean we can afford to ignore our
long-term challenges . I reject the

Saddam Hussein faced the prospect of being the

challenge is
immigration .
America needs to secure our

This

families . It could mean the
difference between groceries or the
food bank , rent or eviction , scraping by or finally getting ahead . For
businesses across the

customers with

Keeping
America competitive requires an
immigration system that upholds our
laws , reflects our
values , and serves the
interests of our
economy . Our
Nation needs orderly and
secure borders . To meet this
goal , we must have
stronger immigration enforcement and
border protection . And we must have a rational , humane guest-worker
program that rejects amnesty , allows
temporary jobs for
people who seek them legally , and reduces smuggling and
crime at the
border .

Yet even with all these
steps , we can not fully secure the

high-quality early education .
Last year , I asked this
Congress to help

high-quality pre-K

tonight . But in the meantime , 30

And for that
same reason , we must also address the crushing
cost of
health care . This is a
cost that now causes a bankruptcy in
America every 30 seconds . By the
end of the
year , it could cause 1.5 million
Americans to lose their
homes . In the

years ,
premiums have grown four
times faster than
wages . And in each of these
years , 1 million
more Americans have lost their

corporations ship

America 's
prosperity requires restraining the
spending appetite of the
Federal Government . I welcome the
bipartisan enthusiasm for
spending discipline . I will send you a
budget that holds the
growth of
discretionary spending below
inflation , makes
tax relief permanent , and stays on
track to cut the
deficit in
half by 2009 . My
budget substantially reduces or eliminates
more than 150
Government programs that are not getting
results or duplicate
current efforts or do not fulfill
essential priorities . The
principle here is
clear : Taxpayer
dollars must be spent wisely or not at all .

To hit the
rest of our
deficit reduction target , we should do what
leaders in both
parties have already suggested and save
hundreds of
billions of
dollars by getting
rid of
tax loopholes and
deductions for the well-off and the well-connected . After all , why would we choose to make deeper
cuts to
education and
Medicare just to protect
special interest tax breaks ? How is that
fair ? Why is it that
deficit reduction is a
big emergency justifying making
cuts in
Social Security benefits , but not closing some
loopholes ? How does that promote
growth 111542778

And my
budget is based on that philosophy . It is reasonable , and it is
responsible . It meets our
obligations and
funds our growing
needs . We increase spending
next year for
Social Security and
Medicare and
other entitlement programs by $ 81 billion . We 've increased
spending for
discretionary programs by a very
responsible 4
percent , above the
rate of
inflation . My
plan pays down an
unprecedented amount of our
national debt . And then , when
money is still left over , my
plan returns it to the
people who earned it in

Now , even after paying for what we spent on my
watch , we 'll still face the
massive deficit we had when I took
office . More importantly , the
cost of
Medicare ,
Medicaid , and
Social Security will continue to skyrocket . That 's why I 've called for a
bipartisan fiscal commission , modeled on a
proposal by
Republican Judd Gregg and
Democrat Kent Conrad . This ca n't be one of those
Washington gimmicks that lets us pretend we solve a
problem . The
commission will have to provide a

First , we must balance the
Federal budget . We can do so without raising
taxes . What we need is spending
discipline in
Washington ,
DC . We set a
goal of cutting the
deficit in
half by 2009 and met that
goal 3
years ahead of schedule . Now let us take the
next step . In the coming
weeks , I will submit a
budget that eliminates the
Federal deficit within the
next 5
years . I ask you to make the
same commitment . Together , we can restrain the
spending appetite of the
Federal Government 111552759

In 2
weeks , I will send you a
budget that funds the
war , protects the
homeland , and meets
important domestic needs while limiting the
growth in
discretionary spending to
less than 4
percent . This will require that
Congress focus on
priorities , cut
wasteful spending , and be wise with the
people 's
money . By doing so , we can cut the
deficit in
half over the
next 5
years .

As we fix
Social Security , we also have the
responsibility to make the
system a
better deal for
younger workers . And the
best way to reach that
goal is through voluntary
personal retirement accounts . Here is how the
idea works . Right now , a set portion of the
money you earn is taken out of your
paycheck to pay for the
Social Security benefits of
today 's
retirees . If you 're a
younger worker , I believe you should be
able to set aside
part of that
money in your
own retirement account , so

goal here is
greater security in
retirement , so we will set careful guidelines for
personal accounts . We 'll make
sure the
money can only go into a conservative mix of bonds and
stock funds . We 'll make
sure that your earnings are not eaten up by hidden
Wall Street fees . We 'll make
sure there are
good options to protect your
investments from
sudden market swings on the eve of your
retirement . We 'll make
sure a
personal account can not be emptied out all at once but rather paid out over
time as

In the

peace we seek will
only be achieved by eliminating the
conditions that feed radicalism and
ideologies of
murder . If

terror will stalk
America and

This
war is
more than a clash of
arms ; it is a decisive ideological
struggle . And the
security of our
Nation is in the
balance . To prevail , we must remove the
conditions that inspire blind
hatred and drove 19
men to get onto airplanes and to come and kill us . What every
terrorist fears most is
human freedom :
societies where
men and
women make their
own choices ,
answer to their

hopes instead of their
resentments .

We are engaged in the defining ideological
struggle of the
21st century . The
terrorists oppose every
principle of
humanity and
decency that we hold dear . Yet in this
war on
terror , there is one
thing we and our
enemies agree on : In the
long run ,
men and
women who are
free to determine their
own destinies will reject
terror and refuse to live in
tyranny . And that is why the
terrorists are fighting to deny this
choice to the
people in
Lebanon ,
Iraq ,
Afghanistan ,
Pakistan , and the
Palestinian Territories .

regimes that continue to harbor

Syria still allows its territory and

We 're also standing against the

Land , where we have

President who recognizes that confronting

leaders who recognize that a

Our
offensive against
terror involves
more than
military action . Ultimately , the
only way to defeat the
terrorists is to defeat their dark
vision of
hatred and
fear by offering the
hopeful alternative of
political freedom and
peaceful change . So the
United States of
America supports
democratic reform across the
broader Middle East .
Elections are
vital , but they are
only the

democracy requires the

protection of

But
many Americans can not afford a
health insurance policy , and so tonight I propose two
new initiatives to help
more Americans afford their
own insurance . First , I propose a
standard tax deduction for
health insurance that will be like the
standard tax deduction for
dependents .
Families with
health insurance will pay no
income on
payroll tax -- or
payroll taxes on $ 15,000 of their
income .
Single Americans with
health insurance will pay no
income or
payroll taxes on $ 7,500 of their
income . With this
reform ,

million men 111552333

To make our
economy stronger and
more productive , we must make
health care more affordable and give
families greater access to
good coverage and
more control over their
health decisions . I ask
Congress to move forward on a
comprehensive health care agenda with
tax credits to help
low-income workers buy
insurance , a
community health center in every
poor county , improved
information technology to prevent
medical error and
needless costs , association
health plans for
small businesses and their
employees , expanded
health savings accounts , and
medical liability reform that will reduce
health care costs and

On the
critical issue of
health care , our
goal is to ensure that
Americans can choose and afford
private health care coverage that
best fits their
individual needs . To make
insurance more
affordable ,
Congress must act to address rapidly rising
health care costs .
Small businesses should be
able to band together and negotiate for
lower insurance rates , so they can cover more
workers with
health insurance . I urge you to pass association

To build a
future of
quality health care , we must trust
patients and
doctors to make
medical decisions and empower them with
better information and
better options . We share a
common goal : making
health care more
affordable and accessible for all
Americans . The
best way to achieve that
goal is by expanding
consumer choice , not
Government control . So I have proposed ending the bias in the
Tax Code against those who do not get their
health insurance through their
employer . This one
reform would put
private coverage within
reach for

seniors can get
prescription drug coverage under

most seniors who do not have that

In

tax breaks for the
wealthiest 2
percent of
Americans . Now , let me be
clear -- let me be absolutely
clear , because I know you 'll end up hearing some of the
same claims that rolling back these
tax breaks means a
massive tax increase on the
American people : If your
family earns
less than $ 250,000 a
year , a
quarter million
dollars a

taxes increased a

many other ways that

medical errors with

By computerizing
health records , we can avoid
dangerous medical mistakes , reduce
costs , and improve
care . To protect the doctor-patient relationship and keep
good doctors doing
good work , we must eliminate
wasteful and
frivolous medical lawsuits . And
tonight I propose that
individuals who buy catastrophic
health care coverage as
part of our
new health savings accounts be allowed to deduct 100
percent of the
premiums from their
taxes .
